It turns out Professors and educators like what we're doing. It's likely because they viscerally appreciate that we're helping to pioneer the emerging field of Learning Experience Design (L.E.D. as I like to refer to it as)
LED is the notion that there actually are optimal approaches to learn different subject matter. Leveraging multiple media types and making sure to teach the right things in the right order can have profound effects on a humans ability to retain knowledge, especially if CONTEXT is accounted for.
Our first angel investor is Professor in Machine Learning and he loves the idea of being able to leverage other content on the web to explain topics relevant for his students, and he believes that creating trails with him providing context through overlay blurbs or video/audio clips can accelerate his student's ability to learn.
Also, content creation is much more difficult than curation. With our tool, he's still the guiding light providing meaning and context at the original source.
